Reform in Woman,s Dress.

MdSdAlucs
The reformed costume has failed to make
its way into popular favor; such costume at
any rate as emanateS from Lady -Habberton
and other inventors of the same order. 1t
is impossible for the most ardent advocates
of reform to demonstrate that beauty dwellS
in any of these. 1t was my fortune to
meet at a scientific convention and English
enthusiast who wore the divided
skirt. She was fresh and fair and
big, with the deep chest voice of
the healthy English woman and the calmest
defiance of any law of beauty or proportion.
Her dress was gray poplin bag. separating
below, with ruff1e around the bottom, and
a mere line of white appearing above the
neck band. 1t may have been comfortable,
but it was also hideOuS, and no woman with
any real sense of what beauty means would
have tolerated it, even as sick-garment.
From the fashion precisely as it stands to-
day any woman can plan herself costume
easy, comfortable, and most certainly
graceful and becoming. The short skirt
clears the ground we'll, and is thus neither
worn nor soiled. The dress is often
princess, made in one piece. and thus
Instantly adjusted. The shoes are low
heeled and broad; the stockings black or
dark. With half-fitting Jacket or long
cloak perfect ease and lOosenesS are both
possible, and sleeves may be as one will.
Woman's dress has never, in modern times,
been more really what it should be in all
its outward expression and adaptation to
modern needs. 1t remains to Danish all
bands and ligatures; secure even layers for
the Whole body; abolish hideous steel
punches, and support the dress so far as it
needs support by perhaps flounced back
to the underskirt, and behold the modern
woman emancipated, yet not terror.

MIR. Martins Grave Mistake.

w WASHING CTltlCs
Some time ago Mr.. G. Martin was called
over to Philadelphia to attend the funeral
of young man whom he had known very
we'll. Mr.. Martin reached the city some
what late. and. taking a carriage, he hurried
away. When he reached the street where
the young man had lived funeral process
sion was just turning out of it, and, thank
ing his stars that he had not reached the
place too late, he told the driver to fall into
the line of carriages and follow. At the
cemetery he got out, and although he did
not see any one he knew he felt it to be his
duty to talk to some one about the deceased,
so he approached a nice-loOking old gentle
man.
He was good fellow" he said sadly,
with slight nod toward the grave.
Yes" replied the old gentleman, wiping
away tear.
Il loved him like brother, and many's
the time we've had together" continued
Mr. NJ.
The old gentleman looked at him indig-
nantly.
= TO-" apologized Mr.. NJ, 81 don't mean
painting the town red. or anything like
that; but just nice little chats and long
walks, don't you know"
The old mans face grew redder.
what do you mean, sir?" he said an
grily.
% II mean what say, sir. He was a rat
Ting good fellow" and MI. NJ. began to
look surprised.
''Who, STRIP
The man in the grave there, OF course. %
There's no man there, sir. It's young
lady. She's my niece. sir, and you--'
But Mr.. Martin didn't wait for partic,
ulars; he saw that he had struck the wrong
funeral, and he made break tor his carri-
age and escaped. but not soon enough to at
tend the funeral of his friend.

A lady who has honored the editor by
chatting with him for an hour told him,
among other things. some anecdotes of the
noble red men who. in the days of her
grandmother. still fingered. forlorn and
broken remnant. in the upper valleys of the
Kennebec river. The feature of civilization
to which these half-tamed savages seem to
have taken most kindly was begging, and
numberless were the requests which they
proffered, in wheedling tone and with sup
plant manner, to the white brothers who
dwelt in undisputed possession of the land
once owned by the dusky ancestors of the
petitioners. lone of the things which they
begged for worst" the lady said, WAS for
grandfathers fruit. Especially did one old
Indian plead: 'Eenemost water, no quite
water; eenemost pumpkin, no quite pump
kin; berry much me want him." but
what did he mean?" the editor asked stu
pidly. The lady laughed. IF you were a

Gladstone TO Oppose the Coercion
EilI--Gen. Buffers Startling Re.
port.
LONDON. March 10.-Mr. Gladstone has
informed his party that he himself will lead
the opposition to the coercion bill in parlia-
ment. The Liberals will continue their
efforts against the bill until Easter, main
tanning in the meantime an active agitation
throughout the country. A sensation has
been caused by the publication of Gen. Sir
RedverS Buffers evidence before the lantt
commission. 1t appears that Gen. Butler
testified that what law there was in Coun-
ties Kerry Clare and Cork was on the side
of the rich, and he expressed the opinion
that it would be a serious matter,
with their grievances unredresSed,
to attempt to suppress by force
the tenants right to openly associate for the
protection of their interests. A majority,
OF the tenants. he said. struggled to pay
their rents, and, where they could. they did
pay, but in great many cases the rents
were too high and such as the tenants could
moi pay. He said there never would be
peace in Ireland until there had been eStab-
liShed court having strong coercive pow
ers over bad landlords and protective pow
ers over poor tenants. The Pail Mall Ga
Zette declares that the facts attested by
Gen. Butler come like flash of vivid light
ming, revealing the naked horrors of organ
lied injustice in Ireland. 1t says: vs.,
No crime which the moonlighters or dyna-
miters can commit will be comparable to the
criminality of giving days grace to the foul
fabric Of legalized wrong erected on Irish
sofia fabric which the Tories now seek to
buttresS by further misdeeds.

Turkish Women at A ONE.


The women are utterly irresponsible
beings in their husbands eyes, and they
are treated in most ways like little children;
provided for comfortably, fed, clothed and
amused, but not educated. While naturally
docile and Intelligent. they become shrew-
Ish through the Ignorance in which they are
kept. They are generous with that unthink-
ing generosity that causes child to give
away the most expensive toy, not
knowing the cost. A Turkish woman
will at any moment. if the caprice seizes
her, give away her finest jewels. Their
hospitality is too well known to require
mention. They always have coffee and
sweetmeats served for any and all guests,
and when they feel that the visit has lasted
long enough they clap hands, and the
caffejee brings second cup of coffee, and
that Is the signal. No guest can stay
longer than to drink this. Sometimes the
time between drinks is decidedly short.
The women and children do not undress
at night. but add wadded nightrobe to the
clothes they already have on. and sleep
thus summer and winter. They close all
the doors and windows, and sleep several
in one room. and doubtless would suffer
dreadfully from the confined air. were it
not that Turkish carpenters never have
heard of the plumb line, and so windows
and doors all have creviceS which supply
ventilation. The tales of Oriental mag
nitcence fail to impress one who has visited
the best harems, for they are one and all
pictures of dirt and wanton extravaganza
The only great display is in the amount of
rugs and jewely. On the floors of the gen.
eral room for the women, or the private
suites, it is always the same-cgarette
ends, candies. nutshells, necklaces, gold
embroidered slippers and sashes, and. in
short, all sorts of disorder and dirt. And
the women are always eating, smoking or
lolling about OIL the divans.

From The Tonabstones.

= On a recent trip through Tasmania. writes
correspondent, our travelling party hap
pened to visit the graveyard at Launceston,
and among the various epitaphs discovered
the following OH slatestone slab:
Beneath this rustic pile of stones
Lie the remains of Mary Jones.
Her name was Lloyd; it was not Jones;
But Jones was put to rhyme with stones.
This was considered fairly good, but on
our return our host capped it. In the early
days of the colony rich merchants wife
died. Anxious to provide her suitable
monument the bereaved husband sent far
and wide for stonecutter. and by rare good
luck found one capable of reading. The in
scription was to begin with the velse "a
virtuous woman is a crown to her hus-
band" The first five words went on one
line, leaving room for two more letters.
Grown" could not be divided. but there
was another resource. To the stonecutter
crown was ''tive-bob." so he promptly
inserted the symbol 45, and the difficulty
was SurmOunted.

in which their names are mentioned i'll a

Americans hold him in high esteem, and
humbly begs that he will be graciously
pleased to accept the honorary presidency
of the council of the exhibition. which will

aid in the celebration of the queens jubi-

Enterprise ia Business.


Attn time in the history of the world has
the spirit of enterprise been so indispensa-
BILE an element in business as;at the present
day. The times when a man could get
rich plodding on, without enterprise and
without taxing his brains, has gone by.
Mere industry and economy are not enough
in modern times; there must be intelligence
and original thought Every avenue of
business is crowded. and as soon as it be-
comes known that one man has made a
success by one method there are scores of
eager asprants ready to try the successful
plan. The business man using those tao
tics sanctioned by usage almost invariably
invites defeat, and it is not long before he
ascertains the important fact that one, in
order to succeed in these times of origin
ailty and fierce competition in every circle,
must keep abreast of the times, and if DOS
bic. ahead Of them. All professions and
callings are each day receiving new addi-
tons to their ranks of men bold in idea and
keen III foresight. Men are no longer looking
for markets where they may dispose of their
goods to the best advantage, but are making
Them for themselves. The;American bust
ness man may not lay claim to his knowl-
edge Of literature and the fine ar is, but
what is OF Infinitely more value to him, he
knows his trade and his men. He may be
slow at logic, but he darts at chances. He
shapes himself to every eXigency, and is
continually switching into new tracks. In
no country is the redtapist so out of place
as in America. and it is bright omen for
the future of our land that this is true. To
the spirit of enterprise. more than to any
other element in business life, has
been due that rapid progress of America
that has placed all the institutions of our
country so far above those OF any nation in
the world. And nothing should prove
more healthful or more stimulating to the
young man entering into commercial life
than this condition of affairs. The spirit
of the times demands of him that he must
from the very start be alert to discover new
ways in business, and find new methods by
which undertakings can be carrid out hum
dred times quicker than year ago. A safe
policy for adoption in modern times is
to stick to the old method as the right pol
icy, so long as no better way presents it.
